Hole

May 4, 1999

We saw Hole at the Sunrise Musical Theatre in Sunrise, Florida. The theater was only fifteen minutes away, which was good, because that gave me 30 minutes to get ready. Dan and Kristin met us in the parking lot, and we socialized outside for about an hour. Then, we wandered inside to catch the last song from the opening act, an unknown girl band. Remaining at our seats, we talked, munched popcorn and drank beer for nearly an hour before Courtney and her band came out. She was in a foul mood, a pink leather skirt and a silk top. Her guitarist, a tall, thin girl with bushy brown hair, wore a Vikings helmet. I remember I felt impressed that a woman was running the show. She looked powerful. But she was also bitchy. Courtney said she almost canceled the show because of a hassle getting there and a sore throat, which would have pissed me off because the tickets weren't cheap. She complained about an Orlando lawsuit from a fan's parents, which had nothing to do with us in South Florida, but she stated it as her reason for hating it here. She played for only an hour, but did include her well known favorites, including "Doll Parts." I don't know the titles of the others, but I recognized most of the songs. I think we have her CD. I probably would have not gone to this concert, except that Eric had planned it with our friends and I didn't dislike the band. Eric bought me a black fishing cap with the band's name embroidered in hot pink - Hole. He also bought himself a t-shirt.
